    Chapter 2 Saints and Celebrities Tine Van Osselaer In Autumn 1871, the French doctor Antoine Imbert-Gourbeyre embarked on a journey to visit Palma Matarrelli (1825–1888). In a description of this visit, he insisted that he had seen her forehead bleed spontaneously, and that he had witnessed two miraculous communions and the divine fire twice. According to Imbert-Gourbeyre, none of these phenomena could be simulated, it was all supernatural in origin and he was willing to testify about what he had seen.1 He was not alone in his enthusiasm as Matarrelli was famous throughout Italy and abroad, and many thought of her as divinely “blessed.” Four years later, in 1875, Imbert-Gourbeyre’s enthusiasm faced the cold Vatican reality when the verdict of the book censors left no doubt about the fate of Les stigmatisées, volume II: Palma d’Oria, his hagiography of Matarrelli. “[He must] behave as a good Catholic, and make sure that his work no longer circulates and does not appear in a second edition.” With this condemnation, the book fared worse than the first volume of Les stigmatisées, which had fo- cused on the Belgian stigmatic, Louise Lateau (1850–1883). According to the censors, the first volume did “not present anything dangerous, or immoral, only extravagant and partially admissible things […].”2 Although the Vatican generally adopted a critical stance towards stigmatics, the censorship of the French doctor’s book was exceptional, as only a few books on stigmatics caught the Vatican’s attention.3 However, Imbert-Gourbeyre’s enthusiasm for Louise 1 Imbert-Gourbeyre, Les Stigmatisées: Palma d’Oria, 3, 28, 62.

  • 031-San Crisogono
    (031/19) San Crisogono San Crisogono is a 12th century parish, titular and conventual church, and a minor basilica in rione Trastevere. The dedication is to the martyr St Chrysogonus. The complex includes remains of a 4th century church edifice. [1] The Church of San Crisogono, alongside the Churches of Santa Cecilia and of Santa Maria in Trestevere, is one of the most important religious centers in the district extending to the other side of the River Tiber. [g] History Titulus Its origins date back to the fourth century and are probably closely related to the Roman domus in which San Crisogono was taken prisoner before his martyrdom, which occurred in 303 during the persecution of Diocletian. The first documentary reference to the church is as one of the tituli, with its priest in the list of signatories to the acts of the Roman synod in 499. The tituli were the original parish churches of the city, and this one has remained a parish church from then to the present day. The church was then known as the Titulus Chrysogoni. This has traditionally been taken to refer to an obscure martyr called St Chrysogonus, who is thought to have been martyred at the start of the 4th century. However, the Roman church might have been founded by a different benefactor called Chrysogonus, with the link to the saint being made later when his relics were enshrined here (perhaps at the start of the 5th century). The saint became popular enough in Rome for his name to be inserted into the Roman Canon of the Mass, where it remains.

  • Modern Alternative Popes*
    Modern Alternative Popes* Magnus Lundberg Uppsala University The Second Vatican Council (1962-1965) is arguably the most important event in modern Catholicism, and a major act on the twentieth-century religious scene at large. On several points, the conciliar fathers made changes in how the Catholic Church perceived the modern world. The language in the decrees was different from earlier councils’, and the bishops opened up for ecumenism and interreligious dialogue, seeing at least “seeds of truth” in other religious traditions. The conciliar fathers also voted in favour of liberty of religion, as meaning something more than the right to practise Catholic faith. A very concrete effect of the Council was the introduction of the New Mass Order (Novus Ordo Missae) in 1969 that replaced the traditional Roman rite, decreed by Pius V in 1570. Apart from changes in content, under normal circumstances, the new mass should be read in the vernacular, not in Latin as before. Though many Catholics welcomed the reforms of Vatican II, many did not. In the period just after the end of the Council, large numbers of priests and nuns were laicized, few new priest candidates entered the seminaries, and many laypeople did not recognize the church and the liturgy, which they had grown up with. In the post- conciliar era, there developed several traditionalist groups that criticized the reforms and in particular the introduction of the Novus Ordo. Their criticism could be more or less radical, and more or less activist. Many stayed in their parishes and attended mass there, but remained faithful to traditional forms of devotions and paid much attention to modern Marian apparitions.

  • Editors' Preface
    Editors’ Preface When the three of us first approached colleagues with view to convening a Festschrift for Nicholas Postgate, the response was overwhelming. Messages poured in enthusing over Nicho- las’ intellectual and human qualities in the warmest terms, and it is no surprise that the final product has needed two volumes to fit everybody in (and that’s after we limited the project to contributors who had worked directly with the jubilar!). It has always been a feature of Nicholas’ scholarship and teaching that, unlike most Meso- potamianists, he is equally comfortable with Archaeology and Philology, and indeed sees the two as indissoluble parts of the same intellectual enterprise. We have therefore arranged the contributions alphabetically, to allow the most unexpected combinations of topics to appear side by side, as is characteristic of Nicholas’ own publication list (see pp. xiiiff.). Nicholas is the most modest and unassuming of scholars, and he probably shudders at the idea of both a Festschrift, and, even more, a preface to it. Yet, not least owing to our indebted- ness to him as Doktorkinder, we cannot resist the urge to pen a few words on him and his career. It is a story with many exciting moments, and we hope Nicholas will indulge us in presenting it before readers to whom it is new. Nicholas first arrived in Cambridge in 1963, to read Classics, having previously attended his father’s preparatory school and Winchester College. In truth, harbingers of his future in- terests were not entirely absent: as a member of the Winchester Archaeological Society, he had invited Oliver Gurney to address the school on The Hittites (disappointingly receiving instead a lecture on the decipherment of cuneiform).
